Pyraclostrobin 20% WG is a broad-spectrum, strobilurin-based fungicide that protects crops from fungal diseases by inhibiting fungal respiration.
The "20%" indicates it contains 20% pyraclostrobin as the active ingredient, while "WG" stands for Water Dispersible Granules, a formulation that dissolves in water for easy application.
It is used on crops like tomatoes, soybeans, and cotton to control diseases such as early blight and leaf spots, promoting healthier plants, better yields, and improved overall plant health.
Pyraclostrobin 20% WG
Mechanism of Action: As a strobilurin, it works by disrupting the energy production process in fungal cells, effectively stopping their growth and spread.
Broad-Spectrum Control: It provides effective control against a wide range of fungal diseases, including early blight on tomatoes, frog-eye leaf spot on soybeans, and Alternaria leaf blight on cotton.
Plant Health Benefits: Beyond disease control, it enhances overall plant health by improving nutrient uptake, promoting vigorous growth, and increasing tolerance to various environmental stresses like heat, hail, and drought.
Formulation: The "Water Dispersible Granules" (WG) formulation means it is a granular product that disperses in water, making it easy to mix and apply using standard spraying equipment.
How it is Used Mixing: The required amount of the product is mixed with a small quantity of water and then the rest of the specified water is added with agitation.
Application: The mixture is then sprayed on the crops using knapsack or high-volume sprayers to ensure thorough coverage.
Safety Precautions Protective Gear: Users should wear full protective clothing, including rubber gloves, boots, a face shield, and a rubber apron, to avoid skin and eye contact. Handling: Avoid inhalation and skin contact while diluting the product due to the risk of spillage or splashes.
First Aid: In case of skin contact, remove contaminated clothes and wash the skin thoroughly. For eye contact, wash affected eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. If inhaled, move to fresh air.
